Capital Campaigns support projects not otherwise funded by tuition. The Campaign for Peck, completed in June 2006, raised funds to build our Athletic Center and to expand our Upper School academic building, which includes the state-of-the-art Higgins Library. In January 2018, we were thrilled to launch The Peck Promise: The Campaign for Excellence Elevated. This $12 million initiative empowers Peck to build on the strong foundations of our campus and our traditions; to create space for innovation, inspiration, and ingenuity; and to elevate the enduring excellence of The Peck School.

As a community we benefit from the generosity of those who came before us and it is our obligation to give for the future. When these special projects arise, we ask members of the school community to participate with both an annual gift and a capital contribution. Once again, participation by every family is the key to success.
